How to become a Web developer?

If you are reading this blog you might want to become a web developer, or are interested in knowing what really it takes to become a web developer or you are just another enthusiastic person who likes to know stuff. If any of this is you, then get ready, it’s going to be fun. Becoming a web developer is a good strategy for people who are tech-savvy, but it will take some work and learning. If you are looking to build a career as a web developer, you will need to learn a set of skills involving programming languages, graphics editing, and marketing (yes marketing, will explain it soon).

So let’s dissect this.

Programming/Scripting Language

Yes, it’s programming and scripting language, they are two different languages. The theoretical difference between the two is that scripting languages do not require the compilation step and are rather interpreted. For example, normally, a C program needs to be compiled before running whereas normally, a scripting language like JavaScript or PHP need not be compiled ok. Hope now it makes sense.

There are hundreds of programming/scripting languages which will help you to become a web developer. People usually get into the trap of choosing the best language available in the market right now. But this is not how it should be done. Web Developer is divided into mainly two category Frontend Developer, Backend Developer, Full-Stack Developer

Font End

The front end of a website is the part that users interact with. Everything that you see when you’re navigating around the Internet, from fonts and colors to drop-down menus and sliders, is a combo of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is controlled by your computer’s browser.

Back End

So what makes the front end of a website possible? Where is all that data stored? This is where the back end comes in. The back end of a website consists of a server, an application, and a database. A back-end developer builds and maintains the technology that powers those components which, together, enable the user-facing side of the website to even exist in the first place.

Full Stack

“Jack of All Trade”

Working on both the server side and client side professionally and they open more opportunities.

How to choose among them

So if you good at Designing, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrate, Fonts then Frontend is for you twitter bootstrap is a solid framework to start with. If you are good at problem-solving, writing programs, SQL/Database Then Backend is the way and if you are good at both full-stack is the way.

Being a web developer having a marketing knowledge is a perk, let me explain you why. A web developer will often hear this term SEO (Search Engine Optimization). It basically related to making your website in such a way that it is eye pleasing to Google and other such search engines. I won’t go into greater details in this but you should have some knowledge in digital marketing as well.

Most Common Question Which is the best programming language out there for web development? Answer differ from developer to developer. I would say HTML, CSS, JS is the most important. Apart from them if you are in INDIA then PHP and .NET (Don’t know why it still exists) is what’s in demand. And if you are in other countries like the USA then JavaScript and C++ are booming there, again, this changes for a developer to developer, person to person so just take it easy. #peace
